“We can either live in a paranoid politically correct world frantically trying not to offend the Hitlers and Mohammeds, and blaming their victims when they kill, or we can be free men and women who have chosen to take the power to defend our rights into our own hands.

While a thousand organizations use the Holocaust as a platform for speeches about tolerance, Children Of Jewish Holocaust Survivors [Jews Can Shoot] is conducting firearms training… Freedom is not defended with empty idealism easily perverted into appeasement of evil, but with the force of arms.”

All too many of the other great tragedies of history - Stalin's atrocities, the killing fields of Cambodia, the Holocaust, to name but a few - were perpetrated by armed troops against unarmed populations. Many could well have been avoided mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece... If a few hundred Jewish fighter in the Warsaw Ghetto could hold off the Wehrmacht for almost a month with only a handful weapons, six million Jews armed with rifles could not so easily have been herded into cattle cars.

California’s One-Gun-a-Month Purchase Law Struck Down by San Diego Federal Judge

by Doris Wise Montrose on March 13, 2024

Great news! Federal just strikes down California’s one-gun-a-month rule.
“California’s one-gun-a-month law directly violates California resident’s right to acquire arms and has no basis in history,” Firearms Policy Coalition vice president and general counsel, Cody J, Wisniewski, said in a statement. “Given it seems certain California will refuse to learn its lesson, we look forward to continuing to strike down its gun control regime and to defending this victory.”

California’s law that prohibits buying more than one gun per month was struck down this week by a San Diego federal judge.

U.S. District Judge William Hayes ruled in favor of several gun owners, firearm advocacy organizations and gun retailers who sued the state. Hayes stayed his decision for one month so the state may appeal.

The law was intended to cut down on what’s known as straw purchases, in which someone legally buys a gun, then gives it to someone else who is prohibited from possessing a firearm.

The Firearms Policy Coalition, one of several plaintiffs who filed the lawsuit, praised the decision in a statement and noted it was one of several other California gun laws that have been overturned by federal courts in recent times.
